ACKWORTH ROADRUNNERS

Spring Handicap: 1 April 2020

This is our 'away fixture' when we make the quick trip along the M62 to our hosts for the evening - Goole Viking Striders, It is traditionally on the first Wednesday evening after the clocks go back and we start British Summer Time. The run commences at 7:00 - over a 4.9m course which starts on the riverbank and follows it for about 3 miles before turning onto road and tracks to the finish at Goole RugbyClub's ground. It is a 99.95% flat course. Goole VS run their own handicap but there is always a bit of competition to find the first male/female home. Its a mass start and we get everyone back (usually) before it gets completely dark. The run is followed by food and drinks with our hosts.
